How to Get Teachers to Adopt Technology: What to Do and What Not to Do! GREAT PRESENTATION!Rushton Hurley
Technology should either 1- enhance learning or 2- save time
1. DON’T *Limit because YOU don’t know! DO: *Remind teachers of their knowledge (you just want to check their knowledge of the concept... if they want to do a video let them!) Tell them they can do a video or... a poster! :) They can do it alone or with a friend.
(lamp commercial- teachers are not the old lamp, but the light!)
2. *DON’T start with standards! *DO show something fun! ( GREAT site: tag galaxy) Visually compelling to get their attention because they are usually not listening! :)
3. *DON’T sit everyone in the lab for training! *DO allow regular SHORT sharing time. (tables turned on their side and kids writing letters from the trenches during WW1).
4. *DON’T limit technology to labs. *DO show what’s possible with one or two computers in the classroom. Use a wiki to have kids post vidoes about the content and have students respond to a partner. (Nothing is worse than when a teacher reacts crazy when the technology doesn’t work)
5. *DON’T buy expensive software that teachers do not know how to use it! *DO learn what’s freely available. Share pieces of ourselves with this technology
6. *DON’T blanket the campus with expensive hardware. *DO use targeted spending to focus purchases!
